I am trying to sell some projects where I have small amounts of crypto, as it is too much trouble to check them all, and I will focus on the few 2-3 that are the best. The rule of 80/20, where 20% of the work is bringing 80% of the profit. I am going for that 20% only, ignoring anything else. Got a plan for the rest of the year to buy more HBD and Hive, more liquidity on ++Harvest++ protocol and all the available Gem events on ++Kucoin++, as they brought some decent profits for me in the past 12 months (you need KCS tokens to participate on these events, there are 3-4 of them every month).
Blogging/writing/video
Publish0x - $3.30 in USDC this month.
Hive blog and Hive portfolio and layer2 blogs (Leofinance, SPT, UTOPIS, LENM, LBI, BRO, POB, DHEDGE, ARCHONM) - I got $59.34 in HIVE and 0 HBD.
TOTAL - $62.64 (gained HIVE Layer 2 tokens not included)
Play2Earn - blockchain games
Splinterlands main account - $38 from all sources: SPS Airdrop (finished now), DEC, CREDITS and Vouchers, (paid by the licence node), from playing games too.
Axie Infinity -0 RON and 1 AXS - $0.87
Risingstar, Stellarch and other Hive games - STARBITS and Golem native tokens sold - 0 Hive - $0
TOTAL - $38.87
Staking/Lending/Masternodes
BSC blockchain - $6.65 as profit on PancakeSwap, I will get the profits again in 30 days.
Kucoin - Interest KCS and monthly rewards on Gems - $32.29
Binance - $0 this month, as most of its events are now not available in UK.
Crypto.com - 59 CRO - 3.12
Maiar (Elrond staking) - sold 99% and stopped - 1 EGLD left on staking with 9% APR and no impermanent loss involved, mostly bought. They just launched a new improved all-in-one app. Check it out. - $0.2
Staking wallet - 0.4 SOL and 0.0008 ETH - $41.18
Harvest protocol (my choice instead of Across) paying a decent almost 6% interest, compounding daily - $2.73 in profit for now as I used the stablecoins to do some ETH trading
Extra: $0 from various airdrops, rewards and trading.
TOTAL - $85.97
TOTAL crypto income in September - $187.48 (£140)
A simple strategy done for 2026:
Increase my Hive portfolio to 200K Power up, then until it will generate $50 daily via curation, which I will delegate in order to save time. Focusing on Hive next, for 2025, in order to get a big enough retirement pot, as I can completely automatize everything on Hive Blockchain to do the hard work without my involvement, so I can just write about what I like, when I like. Save more stablecoins in order to reach the final emergency sum in stablecoins, before my retirement, I hope, 10 years from now. Got my 1000 CAKE on Pancake Swap to generate profits. Buy some of the spare crypto from my list (I need a lot of DEC tokens to stake cards on the Splinterlands lands - $1100). Double down my emergency cash fund. Start a new wallet with a crypto emergency fund as a long term project, adding a small amount of staking tokens every month.
Projects to follow up in 2026:
Hive - 29.45% completed
DEFI -0.28 % completed
Shares Account no.1 - 28.71 % completed
Shares Account no.2 - 37.18 % completed
Cash emergency fund -77.62 % completed
Crypto emergency fund - 11.69 % completed
Reclaimed Hive 2026: $133
Projects that I tested in the past:
Mobox.io (BSC) - blockchain nft game - stopped
Presearch Node - crypto rewards search engine, sold and stopped.
Coinbase - some free crypto quests, high fees, sold and stopped
Maiar (Elrond staking) - all-in-one app - sold 99% of it as it is not UK friendly.
ACROSS protocol - they stop paying interest, still a very good bridge.
All the best,
George
Why not...
...have fun and win rewards on my favourite blockchain games (Splinterlands- Hearthstone-like card game) (Stellarch - GamiFI NFT platform, space fight simulation, great to accumulate more Hive) (Upland - real-life virtual land) (Holozing - Pokemon-like game)and (Rising Star - Music creators game).
...get crypto while writing on the Publish0x blog. I am also writing for crypto on Hive.
